There is no fee associated with the Add process during the Late Drop/Add period. Depending on your number of credit hours before and after any schedule changes, you could be charged additional tuition. However, if you start from within the flat fee range (12-17 credit hours) and never go below 12 or above 17 credit hours, you should not be charged additional tuition. A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT LATE ADDS: With the instructor’s permission, you may Add a class at any time DURING the term. However, in many classes, if you were not on the waitlist for the class, and/or if you have not been attending since the beginning of the class, and/or if the class has met two or three times previously in the term, then it is possible that the instructor will not give you permission to add the class.

From the time of your initial enrollment through the 100% refund deadline (Friday of the first week of the term, or Monday of the second week of the term, in the case of a holiday), you can make changes to your schedule using the online registration system through the OneStart portal. No record of courses dropped prior to the 100% refund deadline will remain on your Final Grade Report or your Indiana University transcript.
As a University Division student, you are advised to discuss any/all changes in course enrollment with your assigned University Division (or University Division-Affiliated) Academic Advisor before making adjustments to your Class Schedule.
Please refer to the Enrollment and Student Academic Information Bulletin, or the Office of the Registrar for procedural or technical information about schedule adjustment.
A Drop/Add Access Fee will be charged to your Bursar account on each day you log on to the registration system and make a change to your Class Schedule. Exception: No Drop/Add Access Fee will be charged if you make changes within two business days following your first registration activity in the system for a given term.
Beginning the second week of classes of any term, and through the Automatic Withdrawal (Auto-W) Deadlines of that term, you may REQUEST changes to your schedule. A “W” (signifying withdrawn) will be automatically recorded on your Final Grade Report and your Indiana University transcript for any class you drop during this period.

Depending on your number of credit hours before and after any schedule changes, you could be charged additional tuition.

After an Auto-W Deadline of a term, and until the Dean’s Deadline of a term, you may only withdraw from a class with the permission of the Director of University Division Academic Advising (or a designate). Permission is granted only through a petition process. Permission will only be given for urgent reasons related to extended illness or equivalent distress which prevented you from dropping before the deadline or impeded your successful completion of the class after the deadline.
If you need to drop a course after the Auto-W Deadline, we advise you to discuss your concerns with your instructor and your assigned University Division (or University Division-Affiliated) Academic Advisor.
You may pick up a Late Drop Petition from the receptionist in the University Division Academic Advising Services Office in Maxwell Hall 101. Only petitions accompanied by documentation and submitted BEFORE the Dean’s Deadline will be considered. If your petition is approved, you will be issued a Late Drop/Add Form. However, the instructor and the Chairperson of the department will make the final decision to assign a “W” or a grade of “F” to your Final Grade Report and your Indiana University transcript.
From the Dean’s Deadline through the end of a term (the last day of Finals Week), dropping a class is almost never permitted. If you are experiencing extreme circumstances such as prolonged hospitalization, call 812-855-6768, Option #1, to schedule an appointment with the Director of University Division (or a designate) to discuss your situation.
